Perovskite-type manganites exhibit various interesting phenomena arising from complex interplay among spin, charge, orbital, and lattice degrees of freedom. As the respective examples, perovskite-type YMnO and SrBaMnO are discussed. In the YMnO, the ferroelectric lattice distortion associated with the -type spin order is observed for the first time. Displacement-type ferroelectricity with off-center magnetic ions is discovered for SrBaMnO, which shows both large polarization value and strong coupling between ferroelectricity and magnetism.
